The condition can be diagnosed with a simple visible inspection of the affected area. It is unusual for a skin biopsy to be needed to diagnose keratosis pilaris. The condition improves without treatment being needed. In some cases, a doctor may prescribe a cream if it is felt that it is needed to reduce dry skin. There is no known cure for keratosis pilaris.
